What is the Missouri Linked Deposit Program, and how does it work?

The Missouri Linked Deposit Program is a low-interest loan program administered by the State Treasurer. The loan program issues low-interest loans through partner lenders.
The lenders receive low-interest rate deposits from the State Treasurer for certain eligible programs, and pass on the interest savings
to approved borrowers. Since the loans are not guaranteed by the state, borrowers must meet the credit requirements of the lender.
